The Awami National Party (ANP) leader Afrasiab Khattak on Friday said the Lahore High Court (LHC)’s ruling calling for the construction of the Kalabagh dam was similar to an attack on the federation.
Speaking to media persons here, the ANP leader said the LHC’s ruling on a set of petitions seeking to build the dam had “the tone of Takht-i-Lahore” in it.
He said that three units of the federation had rejected the idea of constructing the much-politicised dam.
On the occasion, ANP spokesman Zahid Khan said digging the matter would not deliver any results, adding that the ANP would soon announce its strategy on the issue.
Earlier on Nov 29, the LHC ordered the federal government to implement decisions of the Council of Common Interests (CCI) and build the Kalabagh dam.
